Moreover even now it is technically impossible for an ISP to filter or monitor content properly even without considering the political and constitutional aspect of it and ther is no hope for the entairtainement industry that this will change ever.

But there is another layer beyong this.

Let say the entairtainment industry manage to fuck-up internet.

Well! Welcome to the local WIFI p2p networks!

P2p software already exist that allow users not only to exchange file but also to build a new world wide network via local wifi computer to computer connection.

This type of network could easily replace internet eventualy. And guess what? It will be totally anonymous!

Talk about another disruptive technology!

If I was the ISP I would start attacking the entairtainement industry right now before they fuck up their business too after fucking up their.

Anyway the curent entairtainment industry is now ireversibly doomed by their mistakes. So what the point?

Let’s finish them up!

Anyways, they also want ISP’s to take a part of our privacy. I think we will need some new law for who that can work for an ISP, same laws as for who is allowed to work for as police. Also, they should have police education too.

RIAA still has to prove that their proofs are real, and that they didn’t break any privacy laws to get this info, to actually sue the ISP :p But this is probably much easier for them, but on the other hand, the ISP’s has more money and can defend themselves. So RIAA would still have a really hard time.

I do not want to live in a big brother world! :(

and to you who say “only in america” didnt it state right in the article that france was the first place to even consider having ISPs disconnect file sharers. most likely is this happens in america it will happen every where. America seems to have that effect on other countrys.. dunno why..

In America they have guilty until proven innocent. But in other democratic society its the other way around.

Really tells you how f’ked the country is atm. They are all been smoking too much pot.

Wait, why is Torrentreactor listed as a reported attack site on Google and in Firefox?”

Well vetusware an abandonware sharing site also got reported as a harmful attack site. Yep so DOS is illegal and has viruses.

Time to turn in your old abandoned software to the police! including Pacman and Windows 3.1

“guilty until proven innocent…”

i thought the foundation of the justice sistem (especially in a democratic country) was ” innocent until prove guilty”

or did the time turn back and we are back in the Dark Ages? >.<

You said it in that last part. Most of the haters would swallow their comments if they have been here. I think many just hate us because they either have of some twisted jelousy which they are unaware of (in their subconcious) or they think since anything big and revolutionizing comes from the US means we are a threat. Or they are just Russians brainwashed by their corrupt government.

i don’t see how the riaa can even claim they’re losing money off piracy anymore since all major labels now sign artists to 360 deals which means they get a hefty cut of concert and merch money as well as recordings are way more lucrative markets now than they ever were. ever wonder why there’s so much live music now? it’s because the record companies are making money off it when they were just using it as promotion before.

they have some fucking cheek considering how pirates are actually the most rabid music fans, and often end up spending way more money on music as a result of being able to try out more. i know i do. or it’s people who wouldn’t spend any money on music anyway cos they only listen to the radio and just want the latest #1 hit.

i think the real reason they don’t like it is because piracy means they can’t predict what’s going to be popular, and all the money they put into promotion for their star artist might be for naught when people prefer some unknown they found online. piracy facilitates smaller and smaller niche groups which get harder and harder to tap. they want everyone buying one thing in a measurable way so they can predict the next quarter’s sales accurately. they’re planners.

usa haters, please note the riaa is not the whole of the usa and it’s actually the bpi who’ve got some of these rules put through as laws in the uk, and i think the ifpi for france. america has not bowed to them yet. please stfu when a) you have most likely never even been to america you only see it on tv, and if you’re russian your government is regulating that and b) most of the music and film you are downloading is american.

Fuck the retards of RIAA!

If this passes, we won’t be playing that long at our computers, we’d just go outside and learn how to use a sniper, and kill some of our “beloved” politicians… that’s how our ancestors did…

Sounds sorta like colleges. Most of them have thriving intrAnet piracy scenes. Invisible to the outside, lightning fast on the inside. When my college finally raided the people facilitating it the RIAA notices grew thirtyfold in a month.

We should have intellectual property swap nights! we could call them … lan parties.

Sadly all of us hooking up fibre is crazy it’d mean massive costs plus alot of work but if WiMax becomes more available it would be quite possible, in theory if we all just got satillite dishes and modified them for use with Wifi we could easily cover a fairly large town with one point it’s just a case of managing the loads.

It’s a project I’d love to research.

BRING ON NET 2.0!

shell may get a court case for giving petrol, because of giving people access to speed, and *shock horror* not regulating their usage.

i think it sounds abit extreme right now but in the future when the net police kill every single site you surf on people might be up for abit of d.i.y/homebrew/freenet internet

I never knew I was a psychopath or redneck. :|

You Americans have guns though, don’t you? That said, shooting a cop for trying to search your iPod is a little overkill, but you never know….

In Serbia, piracy is practically legal. While not technically, most ISP’s embrace the idea of piracy. My ISP, Verat.net, points out in their product description for ADSL that they allow unlimited p2p and don’t filter ports.

Just go independent. Cds are cheaper, movies are more clever, nothing is binary (evil vs good is for when someone’s 5 yo) and so on…

And of course : USA is the earth’s shithole. Only rednecks and psychopaths there…

Did you really use the words “politicians” and “brains” in the same sentence???

So get the opentape source while it’s hot (and before RIAA may close it down).

Oh yeah.. I do live in the USA

copyright infringement is a civil case, not a criminal offense, and this is just the RIAA trying to make it the latter.

Dear Santa,

I want ….

J.

and ban #15 that moron is spamming every site imaginable with his craptacular BT site.

WTF

Yeah, but Canada is beside the U.S. and their internet surely goes through them where it is certainly wiretapped.

“LOL, ya, lot of rights in Russia. not to mention half of europe they are about to try to conquer.”

Huh? And you’re probably one of those people that think will talk about “Russian aggression” when referring to the South Ossetian war, without realizing that it was Georgia that attacked the South Ossetian capital.

Poland doesn’t want American missiles, either :)

@ 19 – Stay in Canada. Remember Sweden has that pesky thing with phone/internet wiretaps without a court order going on.

Dude, we’ll move to Russia! LOL

How is this communist? Or do you think that communist is a word that means “something I don’t like”? :)

This is very scary. The things these people want to do! It’s absurd and makes me literally not want to buy any RIAA music and MPAA movies at all. I would be supporting their dream of further killing any freedom we just happen to have left.

It’s impossible, maybe this is possible in the USA, not in Russia.

Russia will never accept such a stupid SH*Ts specially from THE USA LoL.

RUSSIA HEADLINE: WE HATE THE USA ! ! !
